Arduino

Arduino is an open-source microcontroller and software originally designed to make electronics accessible for artists and designers.
The Arduino team made the Arduino accessible by taking the artist-friendly interactive/new media arts software environment called Processing and making it work with their relatively cheap hardware board. The team called the new software the Arduino IDE (integrated development environment). For the first time, artists, designers and hobbyists could control hardware without needing an electronics engineering background.
